Brief information about BlockArcade
Quantum Raffle — a lottery game, built on the IOST blockchain, that uses Chainlink to extract random numbers. This gives the lottery an advantage as the result is not known to anyone in advance. There are 2 draws 50/50, small and medium. Each lottery only has 100 tickets, but there are multiple lotteries, played in each round. Once all the lotteries are sold out, a new round begins. TIX - the digital equivalent of arcade tickets. TIX can be exchanged for IOST and other tokens on the BlockArcade prize exchange. 10 TIX = 1 IOST. On the home page, you can see everything you need to know about each lottery. The new platform layout makes games easy to use and focuses on important data.
Recent BlockArcade updates:
| Detailed page for each lottery | Clicking on the lottery will take you to a page with additional information. You will see not only other players, but also their chances of winning. |
| Real-time notifications | Get instant notifications when someone buys a ticket or a winner is determined. |
| Get an overview on the “My Tickets” page | The new “My Ticket” page tells you everything you need to know about your position in each draw. You will also find information about your RFL tokens and jackpots here. |
The number of small draws has also been changed from 11 to 51 and medium draws from 10 to 6. This innovation will balance draws and allow more players to participate in a small draw.
Opportunities for earning in dapp
Every 10 rounds of 50/50 lotteries a jackpot is drawn. 1st prize - 1 million TIX. 2nd prize: 110,000 TIX. In each round (end 50/50), 15 randomly wagered RFL tokens win 18,500 TIX.
Developers do not provide information about the project through White Paper and Roadmap. However, there is a blog, run by developers on the Medium site. You can find out about the latest updates to the game here. There is also a telegram and twitter community (over 450 subscribers).
Launch on a new blockchain
After launching the platform on IOST, the developers decided to also make the BlockArcade StackWave game, available on the second WAX blockchain. It has several reasons:
- expansion of a new user base;
- work with new and different technologies.
Quantum Raffle appeared in late November 2019 and quickly became the most popular BlockArcade game. It is easy for many to participate. For Season 2, the developers wanted to focus on improving the real-time experience and making the game more interactive than ever.
